Frequently Asked Questions
How do under-eye fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty differ?
Under-eye fat repositioning is performed through the conjunctiva (the inner eyelid membrane) without an external skin incision, making it suitable for patients in their 20s–30s. Lower blepharoplasty involves a skin incision that allows for more extensive correction, making it suitable for patients in their 40s–60s.
After under-eye fat repositioning, can it recur?
At SM Plastic Surgery, the septum is reinforced and the fat fixed, keeping the chance of recurrence down.
Does surgery leave a scar?
Because surgery is performed through the under-eye conjunctiva (the inner eyelid membrane), no external skin incision is made. The recovery process and degree of scarring vary by individual.
